The lack print on belt with grenades that made previous ones so good. What I meant by lacking extras is exactly what you described.... no pauldron, no grenades, no fancy ammo pouches. If you strip them with all those, then you get a 'basic' Deathtrooper... which I don't find an issue as I don't think every Deathtrooper will be getting the same set of equipment.

Tom Jurassic Posted November 17, 2016 Y-Wing - Love it! The build looks great - lots of nice greebling used to effect to add a lot of texture to the rear section of it. Minifigure selection here is relatively strong too, which is good. Battle on Scarif - Love the minifigures - getting Casian in his more recognisable outfit from the trailers is great, and I like getting two standard Shoretroopers here. Jyn is cool in her disguise, and I like the use of a hairpiece here. That said - the build is very bleh. There are some attempts at detail, but ultimately the structure looks very bland. Imperial Battlepack - Not a fan of the Walker, but the minifigures are good. Rebel Battlepack - Love both builds and the minifigure selection is solid. Definite buy. Microfighters - Never been a fan of these, but might pick some up for the minifigures as per usual. Am I the only one interested in the U-Wing pilot having a unique helmet? Almost as if LEGO included the wrong one deliberately in the main set so people had to buy it... Overall some strong additions to the first wave of Rogue One sets! A location for all the sets is nice, and the Rebel battlepack shines here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RetroInferno Posted November 17, 2016 Maybe the retail exclusive set will be shown with the rest of the winter wave, I hope it's Rogue One related! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDbricks Posted November 17, 2016 Any word yet on the price of the bunker set? The build looks horrendous, but I want those shore troopers. :) Also, at the end of the first trailer Jyn is wearing that black Imperial suit, but she has two batons on her back, wonder why LEGO didn't include that.

I understand what you are saying, but in the trailers every Deathtrooper has this grenades and ammo pouches plus pauldrons. So either lego made new print for no reason or there are less detailed Deathtroopers in the movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RetroInferno Posted November 17, 2016 Not all deathtroopers have the same equipement. The bunker battle was 50$ I think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're probably in the movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RetroInferno Posted November 17, 2016 I just checked the sets for new mini-figs prints when I stopped at Jyn's mini-fig. That hair piece really doesn't fit any of her on screen appearance. Also two new torso prints for the Rebel BP, I would have liked a bit more variety with the helmets though, but luckily we have more bearded rebel guys!

JDbricks Posted November 17, 2016 Yep. Jyn's hair piece just makes me mad. She's the leading character in the movie, you'd think LEGO could make her a new mold. But hey, yay for bearded rebel guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed9217 Posted November 17, 2016 The y wing looks perfect, however the rebel battle pack looks okay at best. Mostly due to the fact they have not bothered to include the rebel helmet from the tie striker set, which is the most recognisable design. Instead they have the two hats with the awful white goggles. Thank goodness they at least have the other helmet design and some new torso and leg designs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still not a fan of less detailed minifigures. I mean Deathtroopers are supposed to be most elite type of Stormtroopers, and they just don't look so elite to me without extra details though.

GeekByKnight Posted November 17, 2016 Y-wing looks GREAT. Nice selection of figs. But the Scarif set looks like it's Rogue One's Takodana set, just a dissapointing build with okay figures. The kind of thing I'll get if I see it on sale. Same with the battle packs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renegade Clone Posted November 17, 2016 At least Hothbricks will have to release any hi-res images now :) Nice looking sets! I cannot wait to get my hands on the Admiral Raddus minifig. I do wish Lego had added a Endor Trooper-style helmet to the Rebel Battlepack for more variation. Krennic's Shuttle Microfighter is disappointing - would have been nice to have an officer instead of another technician/pilot minifig. Dark bley kepis are so rare! So is the Thrawn set a summer release? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lomis Posted November 17, 2016 I'm kind of bummed that the 75172 - Y-Wing Starfighter doesn't come with an Imperial Officer after all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richpepperell Posted November 17, 2016 Both battle packs look great for minifigures - plenty of mix and match options for the rebels. I'm really pleased with the y-wing design. I live the last y-wing but was worried this one would be a radical update and make it appear dated. As it is, they'll look fine next to each other. am I right in thinking the astromech has a trans done too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest, it makes more sense for Admiral Raddus to be in the set. I do wish we could get another minifig with a Dark Grey Kepi. We have not had one since the Star Destroyer in 2014 with the Imperial Crewman and Officer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
